Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

[Compromise me]

Yes of course, this test match was not boring like the first test match, in this match West Indies played aggressive cricket. The third day of the test match has started and I hope the West Indies will lead some good runs for England in the second inning of the match. West Indies current score is 355 runs five wickets are remaining and trail by only 61 runs i think in first session they will lead the score. England Bowlers didn't bowl well in first inning so far and if they didn't picked an early wicket then the match will be gown from their hands.
West Indies middle order batsman Jason holder is playing at 27 runs not out and Da Silva is playing at 32 runs this partnership is very important between Jason holder and Da Silva if West Indies lead 100 or more then they good chance of winning the test match.

England has  scored  116 runs while playing the second innings and rain has started due to which this match is being delayed , but Z Crawley  is out again for three runs. B Duckett  and O pope  participation was going and B Duckett  was batting well and Pope had a good performance in the first innings and this time also he playimg very well .Now let's see when this match starts and when we get to see their spirited performance, this match will be quite tough because west India had completed the target of England first innings with a very good performance and this time England  A special performance will have to be done and it will happen only if there is a good partnership from England and so far  Duckett and pope have scored 100 runs, if this partnership works then England can give a tough target in this innings.

This match could be go anywhere, maybe West Indies could win this or England. The two days after this day and as we have seen West Indies can make more than 400 so this time, England is also in danger (only if WI can repeat their performance).

England are now lead by 110 runs and they have to try as much score they can make today because tomorrow half day, they have to bat and then give chance to West Indies batting else there will be less time left in the match and may this test match will drawn. That is why don’t have to focus on wickets and play freely because this time, it is good for England. The more lead they pile up, it will put pressure on the West Indies bowlers and batsmen too.

[Sithara007]

England leading by 172 runs at this point, and they have 7 wickets in hand. So far the bowlers have struggled from both the teams. And even if England can get to a lead of around 350, it won't guarantee a win for them. And I hope that they realize the value of Jimmy Anderson after this match. When he was spearheading the bowling attack, the other bowlers had a lot of room for maneuvering, as he was very miserly when it comes to conceding runs. But in this match, the England pace trio of Woakes/Atkinson/Wood has conceded plenty of runs.

[Nalain420]

England lost a few quick wickets and that means that they will end up somewhere near 400 rather than my earlier prediction of 450-500. The partnership between Ben Stokes and Jamie Smith was looking very threatening, but then part-timer Kavem Hodge removed both of them. At this point, Chris Woakes and Mark Wood are adding some valuable runs and the partnership between them is already worth 34 runs. Shoaib Bashir is to come next at no.11, and I am not expecting much from him (with the bat, that is).

Yeah, England made 416 runs in first innings and westindies team is 351/5 and day 2 stumps off excellent batting by Alick Athanaze played 82 runs innings while Kavem Hodge made 120 runs while other players contributed few runs to team's total and west indies 65 runs behind now from England side Shoaib Bashir takes two wickets. West indies team played well today they made good score with lose of five wickets Jason Holder and Joshua Da Silva are on the crease and they will start the morning session of 3rd day if they get stability in first session then they will lead on England team and pressure shifted on England side. West indies team failed to make 150 runs in both innings of first test but now they showed excellent performance

England batsmen have set a good target in the first innings.  If we talk about his second innings his perform has been very poor.  And I already talked about their match that it is impossible for West Indies to win.  Because their performance is not enough to beat England.  For this reason I was in favor of the England team.  And the perform and goal of this match prove that my prediction was correct.  If West Indies kept their pace in this match, they could have won the match.  Because England's target was 76 in the second innings.  Therefore, if their batsmen kept their pace in their first innings, the target could have been achieved.  But West Indies were also under pressure.  Due to this, West Indies missed out on winning the match.Congratulations to England on this win.  Their goal was neither so big nor so easy.  West should emphasize his performance it will be better for him.

[Haunebu]

England are decimating WI at the moment thanks to literally every player stepping up(Except for Crawley who was unfortunate). They are on track to provide a lead of around 350+ which should be enough in my opinion.

Another spamming dumdum. Which match are you watching? England hasn't won yet fella. Hilarious stuff.

The England team is leading the score by 207 runs, I think this is a time where West Indies have to pick back to back wickets tomorrow. They have to pick early wickets on day 4 because whenever England players start to make partnership in test then to stop them is very difficult. It seems Harry Brook had a mood to hit the century so let's see just tomorrow West Indies team have to try their best and do good bowling. This time, Shamar Joseph is not playing well in bowling but instead of him Alzzari Joseph playing well.

He's probably looking into the future where he has already seen the England win

Current status of both sqauds are good and at this timez it is very difficult to say that which sqaud will emerge victory in this test match and both sqauds already played their first innings and there has not much difference in performance among these sqauds West indies and England. Today 3 days completed to start this match and England batter already entered on crease for playing their second Innings and their batter also managed 248 scores with lost of 3 batter wickets and their squad also achieved first West indies trailing scores of their first inning and almost West indies sqaud trailed 41 scores which was not too high just normal. If West indies tomorrow will showcase amazing bowling performance and restricted the batter of England sqaud below 350 scores then West indies victory will definitely done.

The second test match between the England and West Indies team has entered in a very interesting stage and this time no more we are looking to the England team as one sided match.

Today we see how the West Indies team bat  for how long in the day and level the score and then take the lead. However, at this time, we are seeing that the England bowlers are unable to take contol of the WI innings as they did in the first test match.

It's true that especially after absence of thier main bowler like Anderson Thier bowling lineup become more off colour and a normal like any other team have and Thier sharpness has gone with Anderson retirement anyway West Indies has played really good especially in first innings and not only filled the required target but add some decent lead too and now while in England second innings they lose some of thier previous innings high scorer like Duckett and pope who can really changed the entire momentum but now they have scored 240 around with a brook and root are still on crease and still have 7 wickets in hand so I believe they will scored easily around 400 and I don't believe West Indies will repeat his previous innings back so that why I will favour England but I am not predicting west indies defeat but just share my point of view according to statscis and player potential

At this time England is leading with 207 runs.
By the way I was not expecting such kind of performance from West Indies because we have seen in the last test match that how they perform badly. But in this test match their comeback make me wonder.
Well you are right if England will make a lead of 350 runs so it is not guarantee that the England will win because West Indies has ability to chase that target so we can't say anything at this time. So let's England finish their inning.

[noormcs5]

now while in England second innings they lose some of thier previous innings high scorer like Duckett and pope who can really changed the entire momentum but now they have scored 240 around with a brook and root are still on crease and still have 7 wickets in hand so I believe they will scored easily around 400 and I don't believe West Indies will repeat his previous innings back so that why I will favour England but I am not predicting west indies defeat but just share my point of view according to statscis and player potential

Once again Ben Duckett hit more than 70 score which is too good for the England team. At the same time, West Indies team was on fire when they fun out Zak Crawley and hoped to pick wickets fast but then England made partnership. Now this match is becoming an thriller match if England team would out between the 330 and 370 score then for sure it is too easy for West Indies to win it. Anything can happen in tommorow opening session of the day.


 
A great thing for West Indies that as we are all have seen Ollie Pope last innings performance, he easily hit century but this time, the West Indies bowler out to him when he just crossed to fifty. England team is leading the score by 207 runs.

Exactly the fourth day of the match will be exciting because West Indies has made a great comeback and they are now showing their power. In the last match they were not good in batting and bowling too. But in current match they are trying well.
If England will make a lead of 370 runs so this will not be a tough target for West Indies according to the current situation of the team. So this thing is making the match exciting and I hope West Indies will make the series 1-1.

The England team is leading the score by 207 runs, I think this is a time where West Indies have to pick back to back wickets tomorrow. They have to pick early wickets on day 4 because whenever England players start to make partnership in test then to stop them is very difficult. It seems Harry Brook had a mood to hit the century so let's see just tomorrow West Indies team have to try their best and do good bowling. This time, Shamar Joseph is not playing well in bowling but instead of him Alzzari Joseph playing well.

Well said. Am not expecting West Indies to win this one, but they could draw it if they somehow manage to restrict England under 300 which seems really tough thanks to Brook and Root who are on a roll.

Also, Shamar Joseph hasn't taken any wickets, but is not conceding many runs either while Alzarri has been their best bowler across both innings.

[UmerIdrees]

Yesterday we saw the second day of test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh team, it is the matches of  A teams from both teams.
From the Paistan team Sahibzada Farhan is leading this series and in this first match, he made 66 in 88, good performance by him as the capain of the Pakistan A team.

Sahibzada Farhan ios a very good player, he also performed amazing at the Pakistan Super League but after that he was not selected for any series but this time he is leading and hopefully, he will make his place in the national team. Sahibzada Farhan the best player ever produce by
Pakistan team.

By the way, this test match was ended in a draw. Pakistan A team made 467 runs for 3 wickets down and then they declared the innings. After that Bangladesh made 203 for four wickets down and the match was ended with no results.

Also Shamar Joseph is always a key player for the West Indies team, eh is an bowler and batting on the last number but today he is playing right with full effort, even he made 33  in 27 n which he hit two sixes and three fours even in this test match. These were the curuical runs for the West Indies right at the end of their innings.

As we are all know, in Australia, what type of work he has done. “Remember the name ‘Shamar Joseph.’” As he did wonderful performance and West Indies won the test match against Australia after 28 years just because of Shamar Joseph. This time, he has done his work in batting and that time he has done his work on to the bowling.

West Indies cricket alive and kicking

Yesterday we saw the second day of test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh team, it is the matches of  A teams from both teams.

Sahibzada Farhan ios a very good player, he also performed amazing at the Pakistan Super League but after that he was not selected for any series but this time he is leading and hopefully, he will make his place in the national team. Sahibzada Farhan the best player ever produce by

By the way, this test match was ended in a draw. Pakistan A team made 467 runs for 3 wickets down and then they declared the innings. After that Bangladesh made 203 for four wickets down and the match was ended with no results.

The game is not drawn yet day three is stumped and Bangladesh made only 20 runs. Pakistan A made 467 runs loss three wickets and declared the first innings and Bangladesh A team all out in 266 runs. Pakistan A Setting big total of 428 runs for Bangladesh A team to win first unofficial test game. day 3 stumps off excellent batting by Omair Yousuf Scored a brilliant hundred and out after scoring 100 runs while Mubasir Khan made 95 runs and contributed a few runs to miss his hundred. 

Bangladesh A team played seven over today they made 20 scores without lose of any wicket. Bangladesh A openers are on the crease and they will start the morning session of the 4th day if they save their wickets in first session then they will put pressure on Pakistan A side. Bangladesh A team that failed to deliver in the first inning of the game now needs 408 runs to win this game.

Now, only there is one chance for the Bangladesh team to win this test match if they would not lose any wicket for long time period and play the remain day calmly but also have to focus on to make runs as fastest as possible.

By the way, last time in the Pakistan innings, Omair Yousuf  didn’t had chance to bat for big innings because the captain decided to declare the innings. But this time, he has decided to play for long and he hit a century as well. Also with him another player Mubasir Khan was in the mood to hit century but he just hit 95 score before he was out by Rejaur Rahman.

England leading by 172 runs at this point, and they have 7 wickets in hand. So far the bowlers have struggled from both the teams. And even if England can get to a lead of around 350, it won't guarantee a win for them. And I hope that they realize the value of Jimmy Anderson after this match. When he was spearheading the bowling attack, the other bowlers had a lot of room for maneuvering, as he was very miserly when it comes to conceding runs. But in this match, the England pace trio of Woakes/Atkinson/Wood has conceded plenty of runs.

I am feeling excited about this game as both teams are good job even now with the lead of 350+ now England is having good advantage because now we are having two days left in this test match and today England will be tried to achieve 500+ runs which will give good support to their bowlers and things will be also well-balanced on this flat pitch which is not helping bowlers.

Joe Root and Harry Brook had 180+ runs partnership which bring their team in strong position and things are now well-balanced because last day batting is never been ideal for any team and West Indies which is having good performance in first inning will try their best for having better result and fight back into this series after losing first game badly at the Lord's.

But, I started feel like suddenly England bowling is on back foot after forced retirement of James Anderson and their bowlers were leaking runs frequently which helps West Indian batting to have 457 runs in their inning things will be tricky for them because they have done poor thing for forcing legendary bowler for retirement.

[Compromise me]

This match could be go anywhere, maybe West Indies could win this or England. The two days after this day and as we have seen West Indies can make more than 400 so this time, England is also in danger (only if WI can repeat their performance).

England are now lead by 110 runs and they have to try as much score they can make today because tomorrow half day, they have to bat and then give chance to West Indies batting else there will be less time left in the match and may this test match will drawn. That is why don’t have to focus on wickets and play freely because this time, it is good for England. The more lead they pile up, it will put pressure on the West Indies bowlers and batsmen too.

Now ,both teams are fighting but  this match is going towards draw because both teams are playing well and England team is batting in second inning and today is  4th day of second test match and we will see fifth day tomorrow of that test match.

West Indies team played well and showed unexpected performance because all team played well and chased the target with full confidence. Hodge made century for his country and he saved the country from white wash because England team has Intention to clean sweap the West Indies team because West Indies players are not made of test matches and these players are basically made for T20 cricket and they like to play T20 cricket and they are big hitters.West Indies came to back and now West Indies team is in good condition and they can equal this series by Winning next match of series.

In the second innings England made 425 runs and gave the target of 385 runs excellent batting by England batsman in both innings they scored 400 plus in both innings. Joe root scored 122 runs and Herry Brook played 109 runs innings. Herry brook and Joe root played 4th wicket partnership of 189 runs which shifted pressure on west indies team both players made centuries which helped the England team by giving a good total west indies team also bowls well Jayden Seales took four wickets. Now West indies team is chasing the target they scored 56 without losing any wicket and last session of day 4 is going west indies team needs to play smoothly without taking any king of pressure to chase the target because they have 10 wickets in hand and 5th day remains. It will be difficult for West Indies team to chase on last day and pressure will be on west indies team

[Sithara007]

WTF!!! It is the same story again and again. After West Indies got a lead in the first innings, I thought that their batsmen may be able to take advantage of the absence of Jimmy Anderson. Chris Woakes has picked up two wickets, but then it was Shoaib Bashir who wrecked the West Indian middle order. So far he has figures of 3-1-8-3, and has picked up the wickets of Kirk McKenzie, Alick Athanaze and Kavem Hodge. Jason Holder and Kevin Sinclair are at the crease and I am not sure whether these two can survive for much longer.
